Hopkins Family, Honoring Austin, Hunter, and Ashton

Donation protected
We are reaching out to our community in the oxford, norwhich and anyone able to help with heavy hearts to share a tragedy that has completely shattered our world. On March 31, 2026 as my husband was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. While he was in hospital fighting for his own health, he recieved the news that no parent should ever have to hear. Officers of the OPP informed us that his 3 sons Austin (21), Hunter (17), and Ashton (13) were involved in a serious car accident involving a transport truck.
Tragically, the accident claimed the lives of all three of his boys and their other 2 family members.
Austin, Hunter, and ,Ashton were typical, vibrant boys who found happiness in the simple things. Whether they were lost in a video game, surrounded by their close circle of friends, or just finding humor and joy in everyday life, they brought a bright unique light into the world. They were the center of thier father's world, and the void left behind is beyond immeasurable.
Now while dealing with my husband's own physical recovery and upcoming surgery from his heart conditions, my husband is faced with soul-crushing reality of saying goodbye to all three of his sons at once.
We are asking for your help to ease the immense financial burden that has fallen upon us. Your support will allow our family the space to grieve and help my husband focus on his physical and emotional healing without the immediate pressure of financial ruin.
Your donations will go directly toward:
*Funeral and burial expenses for Austin, Hunter and Ashton.
*Financial relief for my husband as he recovers from his recent heart condition and navigates this profound loss
*Living expenses to support our family during this time of mourning.
If you are unable to donate, we simply ask that you share this page and keep us in your prayers. We are so greatful for the outpouring of love from our friends, neighbors, and the community.
Thankyou for honoring the memory of the amazing boys.
